Baltic Glory (Baltiyskaya slava) is a Soviet 1957 historical war movie directed by Yan Frid. During the revolutionary events of Summer-Autumn 1917 in Russia Fyodor Lyutov (Iosif Kutyansky), Minniy Starshina (Leading Torpedo Operator) of Baltic Fleet destroyer Grom, and the commander of said destroyer Aleksandr Borisovich Ordyntsev (Pavel Kadochnikov) have to make an uneasy choice. In October 1917 Grom participates in the Battle of Moon Sound against the overwhelming forces of Imperial German Navy. When the destroyer is heavily damaged, Lyutov prevents the capture of defenceless ship in cost of his life.
The following weapons were used in the film Baltic Glory (Baltiyskaya slava):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by numerous sailors, both Bolsheviks and Anarchists.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Webley .455 Mk VI
One of Anarchist sailors (Aleksandr Massarski) carries a Webley .455 Mk VI revolver. It appears to be the same prop, used in several other Lenfilm productions, notably Priklucheniya Sherlocka Holmsa i doktora Vatsona.
British Constabulary
One more Anarchist sailor carries a British Constabulary revolver. It appears to be the same prop, used in several other Lenfilm productions, notably Priklucheniya Sherlocka Holmsa i doktora Vatsona.
Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action
One more Anarchist carries a revolver that is possibly a Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action, also used in several Lenfilm productions, like said Priklucheniya Sherlocka Holmsa i doktora Vatsona.
Reichsrevolver M1879
One more Anarchist sailor carries a revolver that is possibly a Reichsrevolver M1879, used in numerous Lenfilm productions, like said Priklucheniya Sherlocka Holmsa i doktora Vatsona.
Smith & Wesson Revolver
One more Anarchist sailor carries a revolver that appears to be a Smith & Wesson top break model. Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model is a possible but not necessary guess.
Pistols
Mauser C96
Commissar of Tsentrobalt (Central Committee of the Baltic Fleet) Timofey Ivanovich Vikharev (Leonid Kmit) carries a Mauser C96 pistol. Mauser pistols are also carried by two Anarchist sailors.
Ruby Pistol
Captain 1st Rank Ivan Karlovich Berngardt (Adolf Shestakov), officer of the staff of Baltic Fleet, carries a Ruby Pistol.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Many sailors are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles, standing for original M91s.
Mosin Nagant M1891
Original Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry rifles are also carried by soldiers and sailors.
Mosin Nagant Carbine
Cossacks carry Mosin Nagant carbines. They aren't seen close enough to identify the exact model, but out of time M38 seems to be a better guess than correct M07.
Other Weapons
RG-14 Hand Grenade (mockup)
Many Anarchists carry stick hand grenades that look like RG-14s. But the grenades have bright white bodies, so they are possibly aluminum mockups, though not training dummy grenades, often used as a screen replacement of RG-14s, as these grenades have typical lever on grip, making them more lookalike with original RG-14s.
Trivia
Warships
Scenes of naval battle are filmed on the gunboat Krasnoye Znamya (former Khrabryy) that was a real participant of the Battle of Moon Sound. Krasnoye Znamya stands for both destroyer Grom and for herself. During the filming, the ship was already decommissioned and partially dismantled.
During the naval battle Fyodor Lyutov operates a triple torpedo launcher that is 533mm 39-Ju model, issued to Soviet Navy only in 1936. Judging by the fact that the torpedo launcher is mounted not on the centerline (as it is on destroyers) but at the board, the ship on which the scene was filmed must be a cruiser, almost certainly Kirov.
Artillery
A pair of ancient mortars is seen at the walls of Admiralty building in Petrograd.
